On April 9th I invite you to join me in the “Dead Zone” - the fourth installment of my 12 songs in 12 months project. Inspired by the music of my youth, “Dead Zone” is a blend of 90’s Alternative and modern synthwave. A gritty breakbeat provides the backbone for winding arpeggios, swirling synths and soaring vocals. It chronicles my personal struggles with mental health and desire to change for the better. The single includes a remix by SIERRA, one of my favorite new producers. 

The artwork was achieved by superimposing the image of a skull onto my face with a projector. Like with all the singles this year, the photos were shot on an iPhone with no additional post production outside of contrasting. The text is built into the raw image.

Aesthetic Perfection - Dead Zone (SIERRA Remix)

Almost There
Once in my life there was this fear 
A troubled past led to many tears
In the depths of doom
A heroled gloom
I cried

Then one day a mystic lady of the land
She reached out to me & took my hand
In harmony
Across the sea
We sailed

Together we soared the universe
An Absolution of wisdom she did disperse 
Beyond the veil
She did reveal
To me

Her words of utterance were "Don't despair"
"For exaltation awaits you you're almost there"
"Just hold onto"
"The strength in you"
"You're almost there"

Her words of utterance were "Don't despair"
"For exaltation awaits you you're almost there
"Just hold on to"
"The strength in you"
"You're almost there"

Once I had given up on everything
But now that gimps of hope that she did bring
Her nobility 
Will always be
My guide

Then one day she had deceased 
Her valiant spirit of compassion brought me peace
Her legacy 
Was a symphony 
Of stars

I know one day again we'll soar the universe
Her absolution of wisdom she will disperse 
Beyond the veil 
She will prevail
To all

Her words of utterance were "Don't despair"
"For exaltation awaits you you're almost there"
"Just hold on to"
"The strength in you"
"You're almost there"
